The game’s afoot! The mysterious drones appearing over the skies in New Jersey are now also appearing in Maryland, and none other than Governor Larry Hogan is spreading the word — and some video.

Governor Hogan writes:
Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.
Like many who have observed these drones, I do not know if this increasing activity over our skies is a threat to public safety or national security. But the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with the complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the federal government. The government has the ability to track these from their point of origin but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren’t getting any.
Governor Hogan isn’t the first to be concerned about these objects, be they drones or something else. The Biden administration has issued a statement, but it was distinctly underwhelming.
We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they came from, or who has launched or is controlling them–and that they pose no threat.
That response is entirely unacceptable. I join with the growing bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that the federal government immediately address this issue. The American people deserve answers and action now.

There is a video — but it doesn’t show much, just the sort of “barely visible lights in the sky” video one sees in low-budget UFO documentaries; it’s not possible to discern any details.
However: Notice the proximity to the national capital — and bear in mind that in just over a month, there will be a rather major event taking place in Washington, D.C.

While Governor Hogan’s home in Davidsonville, Maryland, is on the flight path of two major airports, Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), which may account for some of these objects, at least one other observer has seen what appear to be aircraft that were not identified on a flight tracker.
